Description (The direction towards Mecca (Qibla) is described as eastern and other directions are named accordingly)

The eastern half of a square lot measuring approximately 14 x 14 metres is occupied by a two-storey building; the western half is an empty open walled courtyard, which according to the current residents contains burials. The front structure has an aspect of a city building rather than a funerary monument. The strictly symmetrical main (eastern) façade faces Sultan Ahmad Street. The entrance portal, the corners of the street façade’s ground floor and a course over the ground-floor windows with an inter-storey cornice are built of ashlar stone; the other walls are built of coursed rough stone.
The entrance portal is set in a rectangular recess topped with a muqarnas frieze. The recess itself is placed in a flat projection reaching in height the middle of the upper floor and topped with a flat cornice. The rectangular entrance door has its monolithic stone lintel and the relieving arch above it framed in knotted moulding. Over the door is a recess apparently for mounting an inscription panel, which is empty – the panel either was never installed, or has been removed. The portal is the only part of the façade in the neo-Mamluk style. In the wall above the portal are two windows topped with round arches, with the window panes divided into decorative geometrical fields that were glazed with coloured glass (now in very poor condition). Above the windows is an opening cut in two stone blocks in the shape of eight-pointed star with four ends rounded. Apparently, this set of windows admitted light to a double-height hallway. The side sections of the façade are each composed with two windows on ground and upper floors, although in place of the inner ground floor window on the left (southern) side is a blind rectangular recess. The ground floor windows were enclosed in wooden moulded frames (now almost completely gone), has simple louvre shutters, and are fitted with simple decorative wrought iron grilles. The grille of the inner window on the right (northern) side has larger openings in the bottom part, typical of a sabil window. The upper floor window have their upper parts framed in mouldings in plaster; above the windows are plaster-cast neo-Baroque decorations with laurels, scrolls, medallions, and conchs. There are simple, non-decorative iron grilles in the windows, and behind them, sliding wooden shutters of “baghdadli” grating of thin laths, with cot-out wooden decorations on top. The building is topped with a simple plaster cornice.
